    The only thing I would even think to add to this tutorial is explaining corrosion protection when the fender brace is welded back in. Weld through primer is always a nice bit of added insurance.
    Great work! 👍🏻

    • @BeAMetalFabricator
      @BeAMetalFabricator  ปีที่แล้ว +30

      You are right that will need to be coated. But coating it with por 15 would have delayed my video another day so I will spray some rust preventative in the gap between the brace and the panel I'll put that process in the video next time. Thanks for the tip

    • @TheHyde8875
      @TheHyde8875 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Other thing is instead of working the weld continuously one direction, jump around and back step the welds. Requires a hell of a lot less body work at the end by minimizing shrinkage and warping.

      @@actually5004Sadly most of the work I’ve seen is repair shops who are working to insurance companies who place pressure to work down to a price rather than up to a quality.
      While I accept the level of repair in this video isn’t required for a typical fender bender, my experience (in Australia) is that it’s the insurer who signs off on repairs and it’s typically a risk management approach of “near enough is good enough”.

    I love the tape patterns. Personally I like 1/2" or 3/4" fiberglass tape as the base and then packing tape to hold it all together. After peeling it off I line the adhesive side with more packing tape. The fiberglass gives the pattern a shape memory which really helps in panel shaping and then it's reversible.

    • @BeAMetalFabricator
      @BeAMetalFabricator  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yes I love that! I learned that technique from Wray at pro shaper with the fiberglass tape. I use it when I am shaping metal. I was just basically making bends on this fender so I used masking tape. Thanks for watching! And for the comment!

    One of the best things anyone taught me, in 40 years of car restorarion was when an old guy turned me on to tig welding silicon bronze for patch panels. It uses much less heat and it can be shaved effortlessly with a vixen file. Heat is the enemy. Less welding and grinding heat make a more consistent repair. But a repair like this gets it done perfectly.

    Watched this last night and I am simply in awe of your skills! When you were done, there was no need for body filler of any kind. I wish I had the skills to do this for my cab corners project coming up. Subscribed!

      @@BeAMetalFabricator Practice and patience, yes, but some measure of inherent skills probably plays a part here too! At almost 68 years old, I'm not sure there is enough time for me to master this technique as you have. Thanks for the video and keep 'em coming!

    Good job. At first, it looked like the patch panel was a bit too big ....... but you nailed it perfectly. I liked the way the video moved right along. Some folks seem to think the sound of their voice is a little too interesting. Stretching things out, as some do, gets tiring. You hit it perfectly. Great post and fun to watch.

      Right on man! You can make the patch just take your time and get the panel as close to the curves as possible!

    man beautiful fabrication, beautiful cut, beautiful weld. i think your tape trick and marking the bends is genius. but i was most impressed with your fit---up. tig is tricky.

  • @kevchev9952
    @kevchev9952 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    When doing rust work, it's very important to grind only the weld with a hard stone, grinding minimally on the original panel. A final light blend with a 60 grit corps disc is the only touching of the original panel that should ever take place. Then dolly the work.
